Thunder Bay: Roland Morrison and Police Killings

thunder bay: It's a record achieved in communities frequently in social distress, places where hunting rifles and shotguns are ubiquitous, according to CTV. The key difference from urban, non-Indigenous policing, insiders and observers say, is the relationship building between officers and the people they serve. It's a record of which the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service is proud, especially in light of the recent uproar in North America over police killings and brutality involving Indigenous, Black, and mentally distressed people. In the past, you might have been the only officer in there, Roland Morrison, chief of NAPS says from Thunder Bay, Ont. You have to develop relationships with the communities in order to have positive policing. You would have no radio, you've got no backup, so you really effectively have to use your communication and talk to people. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
